does anyone else feel a weird guilt for wanting to do absolutely nothing after a shift?
i had one of those shifts today where nothing went catastrophically wrong but the constant mental juggling just drained me completely. i got home and my guitar is sitting there staring at me and i usually love playing to unwind but i just couldn't bring myself to even pick it up.
i feel like i see all these "healthcare lifestyle" posts where people go to the gym or cook a 5 course meal after a 12 hour shift and it makes me feel like such a lazy bum for just wanting to sit on the couch in silence for three hours.
is the "post-shift rot" a real thing for you guys too? like you have the physical energy to do stuff but your brain is just at 0% capacity and needs to stay there? i hate feeling like i'm wasting my free time but man some days the couch just wins.
